What did you do in the garden today?

I stopped at home depot. They have trees outside and packaged starts inside. I bought a Suffolk red seedless grape. They did not have what I wanted. Dentist visit not good. Need 4 pulled one crown and a partial = $$$$. Insurance will cover most of the cost.

OMG that's so horrible!
(Can you not do implants?!)

I haven't even planted anything else yet and already the asparagus I planted last year is putting food on the table (or at least the counter). And yes, they're delicious.

I eat them when I pick them, they don't make it back to the kitchen, but I only have 2 plants.

Someone here has, I just cannot remember who.
I'm sure they'll chime in. @TJAnonymous was it you?
or maybe @Acre4Me ?

Some of the tomato varieties I've had are potato leaf types. I don't recall any specific names. Is there supposed to be a benefit/difference to the larger leaves?

Not me.

But you did just remind me to check the asparagus. I saw 4 - 5 stalks poking up through the ground cover a few days ago.

I found an article with a list of potato leaf plants, They say it may have stronger resistance to some disease.

I just looked at the weather app on my phone and it’s saying 15 inches of snow on Saturday. Lol! I’m sure that’s wrong. Please tell me that’s wrong. Lol! I just managed a trail in the chicken yard and coerced them out with green beans. Yikes!

Now that I have home grown ripe tomatoes and lettuce, I started getting into hamburger with fries and angle hair spaghetti with meat balls and home made sauce.

My sauce is simple, I use around 8 to 10 peeled tomatoes, 1 chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves , 2tsp sugar, 2 1/2tsp salt, 1tsp Italian season, and around 3TBS olive oil. Boil and simmer until done.

All cool weather plants are outside now. I potted some peppers today. Will plant warm weather seeds soon maybe. I have to figure out what do with peppers as I seed start tomatoes and okra and squash, zucchini, and watermelon.
